As before, I think there should be only a single 2.2b1 release. If you
need to provide binaries, use what was released in the 2.2b1 source
distribution (which is *not* the Unix release, it is the source
distribution).

What do your users lose if they have to get 2.2b1 as-is (ie. without
further patches)? It may have bugs, sure - but so does the 2.2b1
release for everybody else. There will be a 2.2b2 release, so whatever
you commit now will appear in 2.2b2.

I think these release schedules are there for a purpose.
